'''Asparagine Synthetase''' is a homodimer comprised of two domains ligated together. ASPS consists of a

<scene name='56/564042/Glutamine_amidotransferase/1'>Glutamine Amidotransferase Type-2</scene> (residues 2-191) and and Asparagine Synthetase complex (residues 213-536). There are two specific domains that contain the substrate binding sites. The N-terminal domain which contains two layers of anti-parallel beta sheets comprised of six layers each,(site PDB)this is where the Glutamine binds. A C-terminal domain also exists, it is comprised of five parallel beta sheets with alpha helices on either side of it, (site PDB) this is where the Mg2+, ATP and Aspartic Acid bind. The two active sites contained within the terminal domains are linked together by a tunnel of hydrophobic and polar surface amino acid residues. Specifically ~~residue~~ 365 is important for the binding of the Beta-Asparty-AMP intermediate into the enzyme.
